At Wild West amusement park, Joey's favorite ride is the Blazing Bullet roller coaster. There are 8 cars on the Blazing Bullet, and each car can hold the same number of people. A total of 48 people can ride on the Blazing Bullet at one time.
Which equation can you use to find the number of people n each car can hold?
Solve this equation for n to find the number of people each car can hold.
Let's use the equation:
8n = 48
where n represents the number of people each car can hold.
To solve for n, we will divide both sides by 8:
n = 48/8
n = 6
Therefore, each car on the Blazing Bullet roller coaster can hold 6 people.
